Chef Noori fled Afghanistan with his family in 2015. Today, with the help of the International Rescue Committee, he is greeting Afghans arriving to the U.S. with meals to make them feel at home.

This Iranian refugee family was approved for resettlement in Seattle on June 12, 2017, but because of the United States travel ban, the family's flights were canceled three times.
